The heart of Mission Trail park will be gone forever – if we sell.

Mission Trail Park is a treasured resource for us all. The Flanders property is at its heart. But if we sell it, it will be gone forever. We must keep our park whole:

• Because it saves trails, views and open space – why exchange them for wall and fences?

• Because the city has an obligation to the public to “preserve and acquire parkland.” It’s right there in the General Plan.

• Because the city doesn’t need the money, with millions in reserves, and we should not raise temporary cash by selling precious assets.

• Because keeping the property will cost us nothing. Several groups and individuals have offered to restore and maintain it at no expense.

We can and must keep Mission Trail Park whole – for ourselves and for future generations.

Vote no on the sale of our parkland. Vote No on Measure “I.”
